Lunch at No-Li brewhouse on a Sunday
Facility is very good, sat on the outside patio overlooking Spokane River. Nicely shaded
Service was quick and attentive
Selection: very good selection of year round and rotating beers
Food was ok, not bad,
Value: A little bit pricey for the quality
Overall: Very good experience, nice stop when in the Spokane Coeur d’Alene area

Really enjoyed a visit for lunch. A great selection of very good pub fare. Excellent beers. Their location is right on the Spokane River, so I need to come back in warmer weather when the outdoor seating is available.

I visited the No-Li brewhouse a couple weeks ago on my way through Spokane for a couple of beers and some lunch. It's a good place, atmosphere-wise; kind of industrial-looking with brew equipment visible, but clean and relatively new looking. There's also an outside seating area, which would probably be quite nice when there's not a heat wave going on.

I sat at the bar and service was decent. There were 8 beers on tap when I visited, and I enjoyed the hoppy brown ale they had on offer. The beer is pretty good overall, although they blew the last keg of sour cherry ale right before I was able to order some -- not their fault, but I was disappointed.

The food was good. I had the reuben and clam chowder, and it met all my lunch expectations.

A stone's throw from Gonzaga University, in what seems like it could have been an old "open air" market building. The beer vibe was good, but almost felt a little forced. I had a flight of the Usual Suspects with the choice of Monkey, the beers were decent, but as the name suggests, "usual." I have a bottle of their imperial stout, which I'm excited to try. Despite the place being half empty, there were a lot of staff who seemed oddly rather busy. Did not try the food, but glancing at the menu, the options looked intriguing. As I was leaving i walked out back and saw they had some really nice outdoor seating right along the river.

Did a flight of beers late on a Friday night. Beers were good but not great except for one, a barrel aged stout which was excellent. Taproom was spacious and had a good vibe, servers were attentive. Didn't try any food. Will probably return if in the area with not that many choices in the area.

Atmosphere - Good vibes, pretty standard pub atmosphere. Well kept, but nothing really cool going on to speak of. The patio by the river is a nice touch though.

Quality - No-Li beers are generally just "okay" across the board, nothing outstanding at all. The high point is their Born and Raised IPA, which is quite solid. Low point is the Wrecking Ball Imperial Stout, which essentially tastes like burned, unsalty soy sauce.

Service - Is always great. Fast, friendly, haven't had any problems.

Selection - They don't exactly have a big lineup, and whenever I'm there it seems like they only have 1 brewpub only beer they're testing out. Pretty boring overall but not bad.

Value - Pretty spendy for what it is; this is where No-Li falters with me. It's just average brew and food for above average money. They only sell 4-packs and bombers which I feel are a bit pricey for the quality.
